As a dedicated dual-degree student at Arizona State University with a passion for healthcare and a clear focus on cardiothoracic surgery, I’m committed to advancing patient care through skill, empathy, and innovation. As a first-generation Turkish American, my journey has been one of resilience, dedication, and a drive to make a meaningful impact.With over 500 hours of community service, I have developed strong skills in leadership, organization, and strategic planning. I brought these skills to my role as President and Founder of a Youth Advisory Council, where I oversaw event management and team coordination. These experiences have taught me the importance of adaptability, clear communication, and a results-oriented mindset—qualities essential in both healthcare and leadership.
